FIRST STREET WIDENING.
Pro babiiity of am SO.foOt street
Ina n VI Onth.

Ina n Month.
The First street property owners met
last night in Justice Austins court
room, DR.. Widney in tine chair, and
quite number of citizens present. DR..
Widney stated that the committee had
canvassed the the street thoroughly. and
there was but one man who objected to
the improvement by widening. All of
the rest of the property owners had
agreed to widen and the only thing that
remained to be done was to make the
list OF assessments. In widening there
were some parties who owned brick and
other buildings which had been built up
close to the street, and to take off ten
feet of these would cause some damage.
To meet this damage an assessment list
would have to be prepared, for
it was only proper that the cost
of the actual damage should be
equally divided. The committee was
working on this assessment and in the
course of about two weeks everything
would be completed. The course taken
in this movement was such as will cause
no delay in the widening, for after the
proper legal papers are made out the
property owners will move back imme.
diately. In the opinion of DR.. Widney
a month from the present time will see
First street widened to eighty feet. He
suggested that the committee be given
further time in which to 60 ahead and
finish the assessments and that the
meeting adjourn to the call of the chair,
which will be made as soon as matters
are in proper shape. DIR. Widney $ sug-
gestion was carried out and the meetin &
adjourned.

The 3. II. freight Depot.

For some weeks passed large gang of
carpenters has been busily engaged in
putting up an addition to the freight
depot of the S. P. Co. in this city. The
old depot was 500 feet long by 40 feet
wide, to which dimensions it was en-.
larged nearly two years ago. At that
time the largely increased business of
the corporation rendered this step i'm.
perative. But it was then thought an
enlargement sufficient for many years
had been made. In spite, however, of
the fact that the Santa Fe people have
set up housekeeping for themselves, and
this relieved the S. P. Company of q
considerable amount of business, yet it
has been found necessary to make a fur.
ther very material increase to the freight
depot OF the old line. To accommo-
date the growing business of the road at
this point an addition of 80 feet by 40
feet has been constructed, with section
so feet by so between the old and
new section. This last joint is two.
stories in height and the upper part will
be used as the Office of the freight clerks.
This gives a continuous depot under
roof fully 900 feet in length, from 40 to
so feet in width and affords a large
space for the expeditions handling
Of freight. The receiving and delivery
clerks will have their desks on the
ground floor directly below the COM
modious office of the clerks above, and
these will be connected with speaking
tubes and all other appliances for the
transaction of business.
Nor is this the only improvement
made by the S. p. Co. The machine
shops and the round house have beer
overhauled and thoroughly repaired. A
new foundation has been put undel
both of these houses, and the ten new
pits have been constructed in the rount
house giving 2S pits in all.

The Operetta of Cinderella.


Mrs. Charles Benton has arrived in
this city for the purpose of organizing a
class of juvenile performers to give the
charming little operetta of Cinderella.
She comes from the East, and more di-
rectly from San Francisco, and in many
cities she has given representations of
this pretty piece to crowded and de-
lighted audiences. At the Baldwin,
San Francisco, her entertainment proved
particularly attractive, and ran for sew
eral weeks to fine business. Mrs.
Benton brings with her no less than
1900 costumes. In few days she will
give notice where she may be seen to ar.
range for places in her training classes
by those who wish to take part in the
performance. Singing, dancing and
acting will be taught the participants,
under the immediate direction of the
lady whose past successes are guaran-
tee of the benefits to be derived from
her tuition.

BONFORT,S BUDGET.

NEW YORK, June 25.-Bonforts wine
and spirit circular, says: "The wine
spirit trade feels the present state of af.
fairs in the small orders of the buyers
and the difficulty and expense of orders.
Here and there failures occur but these
are generally fraudulent, for at the
prices that have been going for the past
years, it has been difficult for an
mary retailer to avoid making
money"
Referring to the California Pure Wine
Bill, the same circular says: ''It is
rather a funny commentary on the law
that in order to make its provisions op-
erative il should be found necessary to
wipe up the business of the wine mer'
chant. California will discover in time
however. that manufacturing wines and
distributing them are two separate bust.
nesses and pure wine will not induce

A REDSKINS REVENGE.
Reported Murder of a SchOOner's
Crew by Indians.

VICTORIA, B. c., June 25.-James
McNerhaney, of Campbell River, about
forty miles north of Comox, reports to
Vancouver the news that a schooner,
manned by George Powell, Henry
Moore and another man, left for the
north to trade with the Indians, and
nothing has been heard Of them since.
A short time ago an Indian told him
that he had seen on the coast three
white men who had been murdered with
an axe, and that the schooner had been
burned by Indians. 1t was attacked
and captured, the men murdered after
a desperate fight, and the schooner
plundered and burned. Tom, an Indian
whose brother was hanged at Nanaimo,
has been heard to say that he would get
even. aud is suspected of the murder
McNerhaney is confident that the men
have been killed, and, as the schooner
has been absent for few months, he
believes the story is true.

About quarter to nine o'clock last

pany, on College street, near Buena
Vista, caught fire and an alarm was
turned in from No. "a. 1t was some
little time before the engines arrived at
the place and then the nearest hydrant
was two blocks away. The blaze was
quickly extinguished, however, after
the water was turned on and the dam
age only amounted to about $500. Some
of the citizens in the district to the
southwest of Fort and Third streets are
complaining that they are left without
means of sending in an alarm of fire
owing to the fact that the wires have
been cut on Fort street, between Second
and Third streets, for the purpose OF
moving building. The wires were cut
on Friday night about nine o'clock and
it will not be possible to replace them
until late to-day. In the meantime q
fire may break out and the alarm will
not come in.

New YORK. June 25 The Times
says: "This morning the members OF
the contingent that is always on parade
as possessing Gould information were
among the weariest citizens this town
could boast. Every one of them was
caught loaded with stocks at top prices,
Russell Sage and Jay Gould slaughtered
every one of their "friende," as their
hangers on love to label themselves.
Jay Gould offers as an excuse for his
Wholesale calling in of loans that he
thought stocks were cheap and he could
use money to better advantage in the
market than he could by having out

The stock market opened tame, but

BASE BALL.
The sam Luis Boys Defeat the
Home Club.

There was quite large crowd at the
Sixth-street Park yesterday afternoon,
to witness the first game between the
San luis Obispo Club and the Los An
geles nine. Phe game was very inter.
esting, and resulted in victory for the
visitors. The San Luis boys have a
strong nine, and play an excellent
game. 1t may be said that the home
club did not have its full force out yes
terday, but at the big game to-day it
will be fully represented, and will use
every endeavor to win the game. The
club that is so fortunate as to win the
game to-day will be the proud possessor
of the handsome Examiner peonant,
while the club that wins two games out
of the three will march before beauti.
full pennant offered by the Spirit of the
Times, and will also have o pair of
beautiful silver vases, which Ed. Nc.
Ginnis offers to the victors.
The feature of the game yesterday
was the playing of Nagle at short and
Morris at second for the visitors. Tur.
ner's pitching for the home club was
very good, and in fact all of the boys did
well. To-day Hapewell will pitch for
the home club, and Monroe will catch.
Following is the score by innings in the
game yesterday:
